Hi,
I have compiled a 2.6.10 on FC3.It
compiled successfully .But When i boot to this option
,it gives me warning
Warning: unable to open an initial console
I know this is due to something genromfs . I also read
about romfs in documentation .
In my .config file romfs type is y (built in ).
What should i do ?
Waiting for reply .
Thanks in advance .

(Not a kernel question - next time, ask on one of the Fedora lists at redhat.com)
Getting FC3 to run on on a romfs based system will be a challenge. In any
case, romfs has approximately zero to do with your problem.
What you've almost certainly done is forgotten to do a proper 'mkinitrd' -
FC3 and later need an initrd to get going in most cases. (Specifically,
your initrd image needs to have a /dev/console entry in the /dev on the
initrd filesystem, and you don't have one).

Yes, but I really don't know how many times we should tell him this,
unless he understands it, grr.
[Your post is at least the third reply to this question :(].
